In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Banerjee also called for liberal and proactive import of vaccines.

”Liberal, proactive and discerning import of vaccination is the paramount need today,” the chief minister added.
Banerjee said world players could also be encouraged to open up franchise operations in India.
”We, in West Bengal, are ready to provide land and support for any manufacturing/franchisee operation for authentic vaccine manufacturing,” the TMC boss said in the letter to Modi.
